  1. In order for all tickets to appear in the same app on the screen, they must have the same email ( and Log in) address. And that email address must be the same as their Melbourne FC membership details. Unfortunately you can change neither online, and have to contact the membership department. It is quicker to email them, rather than waiting on the phone. I spent an hour waiting to speak to someone last week to find out about the email discrepency problem, but an email outlining the solution desired was responded to within a very short period of time.
  2. Your membership email has to be the same as the Demons APP login, or the tickets will not be posted to the app to access.
  3. We MIGHT have a membership tent open this week. Awaiting advice from AFL. Ridiculous that they can't do this given you can go to Demon shop, crowd in, and purchase merchandise. Or buy a hamburger from one of the pie carts outside, but you can't collect a scarf from the club at their stall.
  4. Article here: https://womens.afl/news/72193
  5. Rebels are now based at Princes park for training. Melbourne city are based at Casey Fields for training.
  6. And if you visit the Ground during the weekdays, you will see that it is covered with lighting modules which are there to make the grass grow. To put it simply the MCG is unavailable weekdays and from October to March. ( How many times does this need to be explained?)

  8. Spot on assessment Joeboy. We were lucky to win despite a large number of players not performing. Too many peoples eyes glaze over with a win. What is comforting is that we could win with so many down.
  9. Article just released on the AFL site compares the two.... Already better than peak Cyril? The crazy stats behind Kozzy's stunning rise
  10. St.Kilda's numbers cannot be trusted. Gonzo is right about the pre-season hopes as well. And their $1 membership scam they used in 2019, just to get peoples names and addresses. I think it was 2 or 3 years ago, we had more members than the Saints signed up by about 3 or 4 thousand as it approached July. Then suddenly they miraculously had 4,000 members sign up in one week, just before the tally closed. Then looking at the revenue at the end of the season, and comparing them to our revenue, a St.Kilda member was only worth $75, whereas ours were worth north of $200. It just didn't add up, and doesn't today.
  11. Demonology still operates under different operators than the people who conned Tim_ into letting them take it. Not as active as the old days. Demonland is the place to be. http://demonology.me/
  12. There were no digital membership cards. The plan was to issue your entry bar code before each round. COVID ruined that plan. I suggest getting the bar code number off the email the club would have sent you to gain access to tickets, through Ticketek. That might work?
  13. They were the only club who initially didn't sign up to the AFL/Telstra deal. But now looking at their website https://www.essendonfc.com.au/...(I know I should get a warning for this) ...it is exactly the same format as the other clubs, indicating they have also signed up with the evil side..... Pity in a way, because when they ran their own show, it was light-years ahead in terms of presentation and accessibility. It had first rate graphics and they could put up what they liked, when they liked. But it probably cost a lot to run, and after the supplements saga, the money probably ran dry....including from sponsors who would have been willing to support it...
  14. Club not allowed to at the moment due to COVID restrictions.
  15. The main change we don't want to see is Matthew Nicholls umpiring a Sydney game: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/cats-denied-by-umpires-contentious-call-20210501-p57o2r.html
  16. NO Coach has said Petty will come in.
  17. Unfortunately this type of fixturing ruins plans for interstate games. You don't know which day to travel and book tickets for. Worse case scenario is finishing up in Adelaide for a weekend! Good news to date is Collingwoods performance. With only 24K turning up to watch their game against the Suns, there is no way any broadcaster would want to be showing them at the moment.
  18. That is the fundamental problem. All the clubs have to use the same layout, because of the contracts entered into by the AFL. I was told years ago, that Telstra determines what changes can be made to each site...e.g. only so many articles each week, any more and you have to pay them more. With 18 clubs putting in their requests, getting something up in a timely manner is problematic, as it depends on how many bodies Telstra supplies to do the jobs. So each club has to measure the worth of what they are trying to put on the site. Do we change a picture of a player, or save up our allocation for a more valuable article?
  19. Snow season is February. Serious skiers don’t go to Buller.
  20. Jolimont will and would never work. It is in a Public park. Goschs at least is not. The Jolimont proposal would have required levelling an area greater than the Great Pyramid in Egypt. It would not have been allowed a fence. The building for gym and admin would have had to be built over railway lines. And at the end of the day it would have been second rate, because there is not enough space for a facility which is the standard for today. Have a look what WCE, Hawthorn, Sydney, Essendon, Adelaide etc have both now and planned. And this is the big concern with Gosch's....it is limited in what can be done in the available space.
  21. The Saints may be pretenders.....but it is what Richmond did to them is the important take away. Good teams demolish those lesser teams. No just falling over the line, they put them away conclusively. That is the standard to which we have to aspire. Although Hawthorn have played Richmond, they were spanked by 5 goals....we should be doing the same to them if we are serious about season 2021.
  22. I know this has been done to death, but I could never understand why we have not been part of this discussion: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/caulfield-racecourse-unveils-570m-sports-entertainment-precinct-plan-20210413-p57iu8.html As you can see from the artists impression, there are 2 AFL grounds pictured.
  23. 43,421 as of this morning......
